About this product
Product Information
The basis of Martin Scorcese's acclaimed 2003 film, The Gangs of New York is a dramatic and entertaining glimpse at a city's dark past. Focusing on the saloon halls, gambling dens, and winding alleys of the Bowery and the notorious Five Points district, The Gangs of New York dramatically evokes the destitution and shocking violence of a turbulent era, when colorfully named criminals like Dandy John Dolan, Bill the Butcher, and Hell-Cat Maggie lurked in the shadows, and infamous gangs like the Plug Uglies, the Dead Rabbits, and the Bowery Boys ruled the streets. A rogues' gallery of prostitutes, pimps, poisoners, pickpockets, murderers, and thieves, Herbert Asbury's whirlwind tour through the low life of nineteenth-century New York has become an indispensible classic of urban history.

It owns a direct pipeline to the city's unconscious." -Luc Sante, author of Low Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York "A univeral history of infamy, the history of the gangs of New York contains all the confusion and cruelty of the barbarian cosmologies." -Jorge Luis Borges "One of the best American books of its kind. Mr. Asbury writes in a direct and engaging manner." -Edmund Pearson, The Saturday Review of Literature, "A distinct contribution to Americana. . . .
